Vzory: Marika Gombitová, ABBA, Madonna
So spevom som začínala asi ako 13-ročná. Na základnej škole som mala zo spevu vždy jednotku, ale z teórie to boli samé päťky. Ja som chcela iba spievať a nič viac. Nezujímali ma žiadni skladatelia, ani noty. Čo ma zujímalo, boli Marika Gombitová a ABBA. Preto sa dá povedať, že som divoký prírodný samorast.
Raz neskoro večer, keď som mala asi 14 rokov, som spievala pri kostole na námestí, pretože tam bola perfektná akustika a mne sa to veľmi páčilo. Náhodou išla okolo hŕstka chalanov, ktorí sa rozbehli ku mne. Najprv som si myslela, že mi chcú ublížiť, ale nakoniec sa ukázalo, že to boli chalani, ktorí mali svoju kapelu a hľadali do nej speváčku.... ...a našli.
V škole mi síce robili obštrukcie ohľadne účinkovania v kapele, pretože som bola ešte maloletá, ale ja som si tvrdohlavo išla za svojim cieľom.
Keď som mala 15 rokov, všimol si ma jeden hudobník Dušan Olah, ktorý ma ihneď angažoval a začala som vystupovať verejne na svadbách, plesoch, zábavách a pod.. Na strednej škole obštrukcie pokračovali, ale ja som si nedala povedať a jednoducho som so spevom pokračovala. Postupne som vystriedala niekoľko kapiel a po páde komunizmu, keď éra veľkých živých kapiel postupne upadala, som sa vybavila vlastnou aparatúrou a v súčasnosti vystupujem sama a občas so svojou kapelou MINIMAX.
Chcela by som špeciálne poďakovať Braňovi Zvolenskému za vytvorenie
webstránky, Richardovi Hrašnovi a Petrovi Dutymu za audio sekciu,
Romanovi Klistincovi za umelecké fotografie a video sekciu.
I started to sing at 13 years old. Already in the primary school's music
class I was totally dedicated to singing. I had no interest in knowing
what the teacher had to say about famous composers and knowing the theory.
As far as I was concerned there was only Marika Gombitova and ABBA I could
learn from. My love of singing grew with them each day.
Late one evening I was singing by the church in the square. I found this
place had a good acoustic vibe which made my voice sound great. I noticed
a group of boys coming my direction and got a bit scared not knowing their
intention at first, but it turned out that they were a band looking out
for a singer. My voice caught their attention as it happened because I was
hired straight away.
It was not easy at first, managing my studies and performing with the band
as I was only 14 that time but I had a strong will and dedication which
helped me through.
When 15 years old I met Dusan Olah, a musician, who noticed my talent and
with his help I've found myself performing on weddings, balls, parties
etc...
I then went to college where I had more responsibilities but I was not
going to give up as my strong will for singing kept me going. As time went
by I sang in several bands but after changes in our country brought by the
fall of communism, all the live bands seemed to disappear from the scene
within years. I didn't hesitate and got myself my own equipment to perform
with or occasionally with my new band MINIMAX.
My special thanks go to Brano Zvolensky for creating my website, Richard Hrasna and Peter Duty for contribution in my audio section, Roman Klistinec for my photos and video section.
